that Gender Justice means no discrimination on the basis of sex. In India there
is gender injustice as lot of cases of crime against women goes unreported; to
stop the crime against women there shall be 1. Women police officers shall be
appointed 2. Special help line numbers for women. Protection of legal rights of
women, rehabilitation of children of prostitutes is the real Women Empowerment
for which every citizen should fight.
Justice Dr. Mrs. Shalini S. Phansalkar Joshi stated
that communications over social media must be encouraged between the spouses
but this must not over shadow the need for having personal verbal
communication. The idea is to develop an understanding and devote time to each
other. This is a sorted way of solving marital disputes
Dr. Mukund Sharda said that matrimonial disputes
which are needed to be solved are Child custody, Property issue and Crimes
against women. He also elaborated that Counselors play an important role in
order to bring amicable solution to matrimonial disputes. In physical abuse and
torture cases ‘Domestic Information Report’ shall be filed without any attempt
for counseling or settlement. Every woman shall know her right to medical aid,
maintenance, alimony, live-in-matrimonial home, etc.
